Tommy Thompson says no to gays
May 4th, 2007 by Wayne Garcia in Issues & Wonky Shit, Presidential PoliticsMore lowlights from the GOP Presidential Debate:
Moderator: Governor Thompson, same theme. If a private employer finds homosexuality immoral, should he be allowed to fire a gay worker?
Thompson: I think that is left up to the individual business. I really sincerely believe that that is an issue that business people have got to make their own determination as to whether or not they should be.
Moderator: OK. So the answer’s yes.
Thompson: Yes.
The former Bush cabinet member was the only candidate to be given a chance to respond to the question, or else, no doubt, he would not have been alone.

And would he fire a straight employee who was commiting adultery?
